Federal Grant Award Summary

Clay County School Board received a $212,303.00 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the school district's provision of comprehensive K-12 educational services to students in Green Cove Springs, Florida, who are affected by federal activities. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, funding assists school districts where a minimum of three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on federal property, have parents employed on federal property, or have parents on active duty in the uniformed services.

The grant funding enables Clay County School Board to maintain and enhance core educational services including general instruction, special education, English Language Learner (ELL) programming, school nutrition initiatives, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. These services directly address the educational needs of the district's federally connected student population by compensating for the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence or military installations within the district's boundaries.
